Daily API RoundUp: Drift, ftrack, SketchFab, rss2json, Inbenta

Every day, the ProgrammableWeb team is busy, updating its three primary directories for APIs, clients (language-specific libraries or SDKs for consuming or providing APIs), and source code samples. If you have new APIs, clients, or source code examples to add to ProgrammableWeb's directories, we offer forms (APIs, Clients, Source Code) for submitting them to our API research team. If there's a listing in one of our directories that you'd like to claim as the owner, please contact us at editor@programmableweb.com.

Thirteen APIs have been added to the ProgrammableWeb directory in categories including Chatbots, Conversions, and Internet of Things. Highlights include an API that returns music metadata powered by Artificial Intelligence and an API for Sketchfab 3D art sharing and downloads. Here's a rundown of the latest additions.

See ProgrammableWeb's complete list of Project Management APIs.

SketchFab provides services that enable developers with the ability to publish, share and discover 3D content for web, mobile, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR). The SketchFab Login API allows users to connect to their account and publish 3D content on Sketchfab without leaving another application. The SketchFab Download API (Beta that allows developers to download 3D models from Sketchfab. It is a REST-like API that provides a way to download a library of over 150,000 free models, licensed under Creative Commons in glTF format. A third API, the SketchFab oEmbed API allows users to embed any SketchFab model on any website, and includes parameters for URL, maxwidth, and maxheight. All three APIs are listed in the 3D category.

The rss2jsonAPI allows developers to convert a RSS feed to JSON by submitting its URL. The items in a feed can be sorted by publication date, title, or author in ascending or descending order. Developers will need an API key, which they can get by logging in or creating an account. The ccc API is listed under the Conversions category.
